Melissa McCarthy revives Sean Spicer

New SNL trailer

White House spokesman Sean Spicer has been notable by his absence at press briefings since President Trump fired FBI chief James Comey.

But Melissa McCarthy has revived him for a new trailer for Saturday Night Live.

The comedian is hosting this weekend's edition, and as a teaser producers shot a video of her singing I Feel Pretty as she is transformed into Spicer.

Her portrayal has been a huge hit since it was unveiled in February – but Trump is said to hate the they way it makes his his spokesman look ridiculous, especially since it is a woman doing it.
